Everyday I wake up with a sense of powerlessness.

Everyday, the headlines blare of war, oppression, death and destruction.

Everday, the news report of earthquakes, erruptions, tidal waves and tornadoes.

Powerless to do anything, I sit paralysed!

The gap between the rich and poor gets greater every second.

Food gets wasted when only a block away, people go to bed hungry.

Designer clothings on one street while only a street away only tattered and torn clothings are found.

Where, oh where is the equality!

The earth shook and buildings tumble. The rich can run while the poor have to stay.

No roof over their heads, no floor beneath their feet, how do they survive?

Aid trickle to a stop as other emergencies appear, their fates hanging in the balance.

Where, oh where is humanity!

First world countries lament of declining and aging population.

Third world countries cry out of the numbers of children dying due to poverty.

Yet each are trying to protect their borders and own interest.

Where, oh where is the balance!

War and destruction abound, death comes for the innocent and the agressors alike.

Parents mourn their children and kids are left orphaned.

Where, oh where do the responsibilities lie!
